Obama’s problem is that, although he raises a lot of money he spends it like a drunken sailor (with apologies to all the drunken sailors out there). His cash burn rate is incredible. He has a huge paid staff. There’s probably not much spare change lying around.

Although Democratic insiders say a better deal could still come, the Obama campaign so far has agreed only to let Senate Democrats use Obamas name  as well as those of his wife and running mate  in mail and online fundraising pitches.

They want money because it won't be too much longer before they are running away from that name.

Between Obama and Hillary, they really put a hurt on the Democrat donor base. The little people have coughed up a lot of small donations for Obama, but people don’t have a lot of extra cash lying around now with gas, food and other necessities continuing to rise.

Obama’s having a big Hollywood fundraiser, but I think so far he has tried to distance himself from the left coast elite. Hobnobbing with them shows that he’s out of touch with the bitter clingers.

It is the job of the DNC to raise the money to spread around coupled with each candidates own war chest. The DNC has no excuse this cycle around because until two weeks ago they were “destined” for great majorities and the Presidency.

The RNC, on the other hand, has it the right way around. Cash to spread around for get-out-the-vote drives for both individual candidates and the Presidential ticket. Duh.
